TTW Chapter 135: Alliance

Next, everything unfolded naturally. Velskud went to report the monster invasion with the giant monster's iron helmet in hand, and people like Nerwin took the opportunity to once again bring up the matter of the coalition army. Then came the appearance of characters like Geraint and Barnac. Due to Lin Yi's previous display of strength, he also went to meet the character he dislikes the most in the entire anime, a king who is so incompetent that he couldn't be more incompetent.

In the end, the king finally relented, just like the formation of the Dragon Slaying Team in the original story. As for Lin Yi, it's not that he doesn't want to disrupt the plot, but that he can't. The Dragon Slaying Alliance is the main force to deal with the Black Dragon, and if he were to prevent the formation of the coalition army, he would offend who knows how many people.

…

"Hehe, now that we have various heroes stepping up and armies from all sides, defeating the Black Dragon should be a piece of cake, right?" In a luxurious reception room, a long table was filled with exotic delicacies. The king sitting at the head of the table took a sip of red wine and said with a smile.

"This is the most straightforward way, but there are just too many Black Dragon monsters. If the war awakens the Black Dragon, the situation will be more dangerous than favorable," said the Cleric Terramai after brief contemplation.

"What's the big deal? If the Black Dragon comes, we can still take it down. Just rush it and slash it a couple of times," Barnac said while munching on a chicken leg.

"The coalition forces have defeated the Black Dragon using such tactics before," Nerwin interjected.

"But the power of the Black Dragon is now incomparable to what it used to be," Geraint directly rejected Nerwin's suggestion.

…

Although Lin Yi also attended this banquet, he sat in the corner, having no interest in the discussions among people like Geraint.

Because he knew that no matter how much people discussed now, everything would change in the end.

Lin Yi also saw the elf princess Nerwin and the Sorcerer Karacule, both exceptionally beautiful women.

Of course, Lin Yi's focus was still on Velskud. Don't get it wrong; he's not into men. It's just that his future plans required Velskud's help.

"Only by making Velskud even more irreplaceable can I naturally replace him in the future," Lin Yi murmured to himself, a smirk forming at the corner of his mouth.

"What! You're entrusting the Black Dragon Gem to these charlatans!" The banquet, initially meant to deal with the Black Dragon, had completely gone astray due to the allure of the Black Dragon gem, erupting into arguments. Karacule stood up, slapped the table, and the candles flared up three inches high due to her magical power.

"This war is in the name of the king, and the glory should belong to the king. You heretics have no right to question!" Karacule's provocation instantly angered Terramai, who shouted back.

Like a spark to a powder keg, the room erupted into chaos—elves and humans, wizards and priests, everyone was in disarray.

"Heh, how ironic," Lin Yi finally stood up, his casual words entering everyone's ears, making everyone uncomfortable with his sarcastic tone.

"Who are you?!" The hot-tempered Kuke immediately stood up and glared at Lin Yi.

In the room were high-ranking ministers or renowned masters. Because Lin Yi had risen to prominence so quickly, Kuke had not heard of him and looked down on him due to his young age.

"Me? Lin Yi, a ranger," Lin Yi casually picked up a glass of red wine, took a sip, and never once looked up at Kuke.

"You!" Kuke, a high-ranking general, had never been met with such an attitude before. "Get out!"

"Really?" Lin Yi calmly put his wine glass down and started eating a steak.

The room fell silent; all eyes were on the two men. Barnac continued to eat his chicken leg, confident that Lin Yi would not suffer any loss.

With everyone watching, Kuke walked over to Lin Yi: "Since when could people like you attend a banquet of this level!"

The next moment, Kuke grabbed Lin Yi's shoulder, planning to throw him out.

"Hmm!" Kuke's eyes widened in shock; he couldn't move Lin Yi at all!

"Heh, quite rude," Lin Yi coldly glanced at Kuke, grabbed his wrist, and exerted force.

Kuke screamed, and almost simultaneously, Velskud, Terramai, and others shouted, "Stop!"

"What? Want to fight?" Barnac stood up, "Were you looking down on mercenaries just now?"

In this world, rangers and mercenaries are almost the same.

"Hmph!" Lin Yi threw Kuke against the wall, "The Dragon Slaying Alliance? Fighting over profits without even slaying a dragon?"

"Lin Yi is right; we should be discussing tactics against the Black Dragon!" Geraint stood up to mediate. One wrong move, and the Dragon Slaying Alliance would fall apart; they needed to be cautious.

"Tactics? Frontal assault won't work; neither will a sneak attack. What else can we do?" Velskud broke the awkward silence.

If the Dragon Slaying Alliance fell apart before it even started, his plan would fail.

Although many disliked Lin Yi's audacity, they chose to endure for the greater good.

Some even liked Lin Yi's style, like witch Karacule. She was more than happy to see human forces and priests humbled.

"I had some hope for the Dragon Slaying Alliance," Lin Yi sighed, "Seems like you guys can't come up with a good plan. Let me tell you my tactical understanding."

"First, launch a frontal assault on the Black Dragon's lair with a large army, drawing out the monsters. Then send an elite team from behind. Time the attacks to avoid the monster army and extract the Black Dragon Gem before the dragon fully awakens."

With that said, he got up and walked out, paying no attention to everyone's astonishment.

He had no choice; this was supposed to be Lambert's moment of glory. Since Lambert wasn't here, he had to steer the situation back to the original storyline.
